I am a vegetarian and I am always trying new things. Substitute this meat dish with veggie ground beef and you won’t taste the difference!

Recipe Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup long grain rice, rinsed and drained
  • vegetable oil
  • 1 cup frozen corn and peas
  • 1 cup frozen broccoli
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 (12 ounce) package texturized vegetable protein (TVP)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Set aside.
  2. 2 Heat oil in wok or deep frying pan over medium high heat. Cook frozen corn, peas, and broccoli until thawed. Stir in sliced mushrooms and veggie ground beef, and continue cooking for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once vegetables are tender and vegetable protein is browned, stir in garlic salt and paprika. Reduce heat to low, and cook another 3 minutes. Serve warm over rice.

    Three stars. This was ok as written. It’s not really a paella seeing that the vegetables are sitting on top of the rice. It’s quite bland, too. I ended up adding a jalapeno and nutritional yeast and tossed it with the rice. With some adjustments, it could be a five star recipe easily.
